A family is pretty large item. Seriously. A family of 4 in a group requires
a significant amount of space for lights to properly cover them.
>I'm thinking of a space that would be 20 feet deep (I'm pretty locked in
This really is a minimum for medium long lenses focused on families.

Again, you're sneaking just under the wire for groups. On a 10ft background
that only gives you 3 feet on eather side for edge lights, gobos and such.
>8 feet tall (also some flexibility here).
Oh no. You must find at least 12 feet. You'd never regret 16 feet - at least
over your subject area. This really is the space where pro lighting begins
to show - height.
>I'm not certain about flooring...I imagine some low-maintenance carpet
>but might consider natural wood. Any thoughts on what works best here?
Unless you're installing a ceiling mounted lighting track system you want
solid hard floors. You'll love if with fine rolling studio stand and all
your lights baffles and reflectors on castered stands.
>6' ceilings and while this
Unbelievable for anything other than table-top and then it would be a low
table. But then I'm 6' 4" - or I was - the curvature and loss of cartilage
may have at 6' 2" now.
